MWAdminAuthor March 13, 2025 at 12:29 am Here are a few sayings that may sound wise at first glance but can often be seen as nonsensical: “Everything happens for a reason.” – While it can provide comfort, it often dismisses complex situations and suffering. “Just think positive!” – This can oversimplify struggles and imply that mindset alone will fix problems. “Follow your dreams!” – Great in theory, but not practical advice for those without resources or support. “Good things come to those who wait.” – Can imply that passivity is a virtue instead of encouraging proactive behavior. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” – While resilience is important, it can also minimize the impact of trauma and hardship. Sometimes, it’s better to acknowledge the complexity of life rather than oversimplify it with catchy phrases! Reply
